Dirt Devil Envision

Dirt devil envision M086710 is an upright vacuum cleaner that has both powerful rotating brushes + a larger dust tank/cup and most importantly it is cheap. Comes with darker Grey color with Green spots and looks OK but I don't think anyone in their right mind are interested in the shiny paints or the outfit as long as it is capable of performing well, right?.

OK, let's move on to the next section and talk more about hardware details, weight, etc more thoroughly.

Since it comes in three pieces (the dust cup, middle section and the handle) and will require some assembly from the user. So make sure to have a screwdriver with you, but won't take that long, after all this is not rocket science. But it will always be better to read the manual first. As mentioned the dust cup is large (about 12 inches tall and 7 inches around) which is a good thing since you can collect more dust and can avoid emptying it often .

As usual it has a 12 Amp motor and has a wide cleaning head which is about 15" when measured. At the bottom section it has a soft bumper (plastic) to protect while "hitting" on furniture, etc. The power cord is really long and a bit unusual for the low price as well which is about 8.2 in meters. But no rewind function available and will have to wrap it around the back (easy to do actually). Also around the bottom section there is a knob which lets you to change the height settings for carpets, etc (5 different settings).

Has some accessories as well such as a brush, upholstery tool, crevice tool and an extension wand. The hose is not that "stretchy" actually and can be a bit troublesome sometimes. The gripping section consists of a carrying handle feature.

Comes with the standard HEPA filters. Extension wand and the crevice tools are pretty useful but the hose is a real pain in the a** to be honest (too tight). It feels like made out of iron, really stubborn and won't help much while using.

The main power switch is located on the back side of the machine rather than the usual (useful as well) gripping section. Since the wire comes from the bottom section of the Envision vacuum cleaner, you'll sometimes have to hold it to avoid some difficulties (ran over it for instance). And the cleaning is good but not that impressive on hardwood, tiles or vinyl floors for instance. But in carpets the performance is really good.

However it is a light weight, easy to push and pull, has pretty good suctions but only seems to be useful on carpets and rugs. So if you have a lot of hardwood, wood, linoleum, etc surfaces then even though the dirt devil envision is really a cheap product, because of "troublesome" wire, weird power switch location, very hard to use hose, etc cannot be recommended for a serious customer. But if you're willing to live with those difficulties then at a lower price this won't be such a bad one either.
